lyrics

I’m the one who made the moon land.
I’m the one with my back in the sand.
I’m the one with my hand in your hand.
My mother left, my father slept,
My brother and I figured it our on our own.
There’s no more anger.
There’s no more sorrow.

Cast aside your dreams,
come on home to me.
You need a friend,
before I leave.
This town is just a square
I awoke and you were standing there.
These roads don't lead anywhere.

I’m the one who drained out the sea.
I’m the one who bends down their knees.
I’m the one who follows your lead.
My hate is wired, my body’s tired,
If I wasn’t here, I’d be someplace else
disappointed in the way I turned out.

Cast aside your dreams,
come on home to me.
You need a friend,
before I leave.
This town is just a square
I awoke and you were sitting there
We could have been born anywhere.

We’re not here,
we never were.
We dropped out
for something good.
We dropped out
while we could.
We dropped out
because we could.

One of the most heart-wrecking, redemptive, perfect albums I've ever heard. Every time I play it I feel like I've been dismantled and rebuilt. And I do it again and again. Patrick
